Chapter 113 Previous Life (23) Twenty Years Later

After Xu Ruan got on the bus, she was sitting in a daze the entire time. She didn’t know why she was very depressed and unhappy.

She didn’t know what is going on and felt like someone was calling her name. After she suddenly heard her name, she woke up from her muddle state. She looked back and thought that she saw Ji Cheng. When she tried to see it clearly, the bus has gotten farther away. She couldn’t see it anymore and thought that she must have been mistaken.

Ji Cheng chased her all the way but couldn’t keep up with the speed of the bus. He was exhausted and soaked in sweat, but he is still not stopping. He is still chasing the bus and trying to chase her back.

Ji Cheng never suffer this kind of exhaustion, he collapse and knelt on the ground, beating the ground with his fist in frustration and helplessness.

He was very angry and very upset with himself, why is he so incompetent? Why couldn’t he get back his wife and let her get away? Why can’t she be with him? Why did she run away with someone? They have been married for so long, why can’t she like him a bit? Why does she have to run away with another man?

He was really frustrated and extremely uncomfortable.

He has been kneeling on the ground for a long time and his eyes became red as if he was about to cry. But a man like him can’t shed tears easily, so he bit his lips and hold back his tears.

Why can’t she like him a bit? They have been together for so long, why can’t she like him. He is willing to change for her, he will correct what he did wrong. He can be the man that she wants, so she won’t be angry at him in the future. He can change. Why is she running away from him?

Xu Ruan thought that the voice that she heard was just her hallucination, and felt that she just missed Ji Cheng at this moment. She has the urge to go back to him.

She remembers the time when he bought her a gold ring and promised that they would live a good life for the rest of their lives. At that time, she want to be with him but why did he suddenly change? Why did he cheat on her with another woman and changes his mind, and also broke his promise?

Although she was very unwilling, she had no choice but to turn around. She had already made her decision, and could only leave him.

She resisted the urge to go back to him.

It has been six hours since Xu Ruan arrived in Yangcheng, and since the bus drove without stopping, she was very hungry when she arrived.

She got out of the bus very hungry and they were all taken to the factory. They said that it was an electronics company but Xu Ruan can smell the very strong and suffocating smell coming from the factory. Everyone can’t stand the smell.

As soon as everyone smelled the suffocating smell, everyone immediately blocked their noses with their sleeves. Some people protested and said, “It’s not the same as what you said, didn’t you say that we are going to work in an electronics factory? This is not an electronics factory, where is the electronics factory?”

Hearing this, the head manager laughed while smoking a cigarette, “Little sister, you have been deceived, what electronics factory? When did I say that this is an electronics factory? It has always been a chemical factory, have you been deceived? We are always recruiting workers here in the chemical factory.”

When everyone heard this, they are all regretting their decisions.

After all, even when they wanted to run away, they were beaten down. Since they can’t run away, they have no choice but to reluctantly work in the chemical factory.

Xu Ruan was so shocked that she can’t utter a word, her legs became weak. She was deceived to work in a chemical factory. The smell is very suffocating and if she works here, it will not be good for her health. Working in the chemical can cause her a lot of health problems, like cancer and any chemical-related sickness. Xu Ruan was so scared that her feet became weak.

She was deceived, Fang Jiaojiao deceived her. What should she do, how can she get out of this nightmare?

Twent Years Later

Ji Cheng came to the mall today to buy some gifts for Chief Lu. Chief Lu has been his boss for so many years and since he retired many years ago, he always remembers him.

Even if he is currently the Chief of the Army, since it’s Chief Lu’s 60th birthday, he has to personally come to buy gifts for him.

After all, the reason why he can be where he is today is all the help of Chief Lu. He was the one who helped him achieve what he has today.

He originally came alone and didn’t tell anyone about his whereabouts, but when he arrives, there is a bunch of security guards who came to protect him. He wanted to come in a low-key manner but with so many security guards around him, he looks like a star.

Lu Huaien also came and went to his side, “You bought gifts for my dad without telling me? You know that I know what gifts my dad wants, have you forgotten about it?”

Ji Cheng and Lu Huaien have been together for many years, but it’s all platonic. Ji Cheng told Lu Huaien that he was once married, and he will never marry again in this life. But she was still consistent in following him even when he told her the truth and let her give up on him.

But Lu Huaien told Ji Cheng that she just wanted to be by his side, even if he does not have any romantic feelings for her.
